Thought I'd better check in and post before the month is up. Have been visiting most days and reading how everyone else is faring but have had no news to report really so didn't!
Will make the target of 16 NSDs as cupboards are overflowing with food as I stocked up for half term to avoid shopping during school holidays. Anything else will have to wait until next month or the DC will have to spend their pocket money on what they want.
Grateful for a baking session today with DC, helpful neighbours helping with a DIY problem and the garden looking green after the heavy rainfall.Groceries: Personal Spend: 0 NST NSD Goals for 2025:Self: Health: Wealth :0 -
Managed NSD no.15 today. Long day in work so no chance to spend.
NSDs - 15/20.
Go outside - Usual stroll thru the park with the pup. Lots of kids in the park so Duncan got lots of interest. There is a couple of kids who always come running up the the fence of the play area shouting "Is that Duncan?" so they can give him a stroke.

Wow furry, good luck with the job search
Today was a SFD. I walked one dog, then went for breakfast at a friends and took the most energetic dog for a walk with hers for a couple of hours, then home to take the third one to hydrotherapy and then I've been marking since. I also popped dinner in the slow cooker this morning which I was very grateful for tonight.
Tomorrow is actual school work, need to go help some students in school, and then exam marking. Did someone say it was half term
Hope you've all had a good dayLBM = 07/09/13 Debt = £13339 (100% cleared)

NSD no.16 reached today. With one day left in the month my 20 NSD target is unreachable, especially as I'm off for my monthly PT session tomorrow. I think I could have possibly squeezed out another 4 days, but there is always next month.
NSDs - 16/20.
Go outside - Couple of laps of the park. My step count does need to increase a little. Maybe a 3rd lap??
Daily gratitudes - Found the missing money from yesterdays rent takings. A simple case of miscalculation, the money was there all along!Debt Free as of 17/01/2009 Turtle Power!!
